Acer Commits to Delivering Industry’s Most Complete User Experience in the Era of Touch and Type Duality

As the IT ecosystem continues to change, companies today can no longer depend solely on operational efficiency, speed and cost to ensure business success. The future is about providing a complete user experience — in product design, breadth and depth of offering, service, and brand.

We have entered a new era of touch and type “Duality” in which users need intuitive devices which operate like second nature, enabling touch for browsing quickly and type to assure productivity. The most important aspect of the integration of touch and type is that it puts consumers more naturally at the center of product design. Acer is a leader in touch and type, the only OEM that offers the touch feature across all consumer categories of products, presenting a range of Windows 8 devices of unparalleled breadth and depth.

With that in mind, to unlock the next level of growth and leadership, Acer is presenting a vision of what’s most important about technology to consumers and to the company, and making products that reflect that vision. Staying true to its long-term mission of “Breaking Barriers between People and Technology” Acer’s goal in product design is to empower “Modern Day Exploration” — the idea that technology is meaningful to people for the new experiences it presents in their lives; to be curious; to be progressive; and to create the potential to achieve even more.

The Industry’s Broadest, Deepest Range of Touch Devices
Acer today presents the industry’s finest and most comprehensive offering of touch devices in forms and sizes to optimize the user experience, from tablet to Ultrabooks™ to the all-in-one desktop and touch monitor, for everyone to find something that best fits his/her needs.

Wacom's successful notebook application Bamboo Paper comes to Android

One of the best handwriting applications, Bamboo paper, is now available on Google play. With the launch of Bamboo Paper for Android, Wacom continues its success story, giving Android users a completely new and exciting pen & paper feeling on a Smartphone.

As of today, more than 4 million iPad users already enjoy the digital notebook qualities of Bamboo Paper. Following this success, Wacom has launched Bamboo Paper for Android - a free digital notebook app that allows users to create and share handwritten notes, sketches and doodles on mobile devices. Bamboo Paper makes using Bamboo Stylus or any stylus that come with smartphones much more fun, allowing creativity to take place on the move. The app is initially available for the Samsung Galaxy Note I/I*I and the Galaxy SIII* with more devices to be added at a later date. Note taking, sketching and doodling has never been easier and more intuitive on an Android device.

Bamboo Paper continues to push Wacom's Bamboo brand mission forward, offering visual thinkers a way to construct and share ideas digitally. It provides an interface that is natural, fun and easy to use. Being one of the first Apps by Wacom, Bamboo Paper adds a new element to the existing range of input devices (Bamboo Stylus range and Bamboo pen tablets) and gives users a very natural "pen & paper" experience.

As with all Bamboo products by Wacom, Bamboo Paper takes advantage of Wacom's experience and expertise in pen-based input by offering a natural and realistic writing and sketching tool. Ideas become much more lively by writing them in an authentic paper mode, enjoying realistic, pressure sensitive inking and a fluid interface to make quick notes, sketches or drawings. When used in conjunction with a Bamboo Stylus, Android users will now get a realistic pen & paper feeling.

Bamboo Paper for Android is available from today as a free download in Google play and will be available in the Samsung Apps stores this week.

Built with an unprecedented level of fit and finish, the new iMac delivers an amazing desktop experience in a gorgeous design.

In the new design, the cover glass is fully laminated to the LCD and an anti-reflective coating is applied using a high-precision plasma deposition process.

October 18, 2012 - Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend), a worldwide leader in storage and multimedia products, today announced the release of its four-port USB 3.0 Hub, the HUB3 - a compact and easy-to-carry solution for connecting more peripherals to a computer than would normally be possible. Compliant with the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 specification, the HUB3 provides data transfer rates up to ten times faster than USB 2.0.

Compact, convenient, and lightweight, the HUB3 lets users charge their tablet, smartphone, eBook reader, and digital camera without the burden of carrying various different device chargers.

Fully compatible with Windows 8/7/Vista/XP, Mac OS X, and Linux operating systems, Transcend's USB 3.0 Hub is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1, so users can rest assured that their older devices will still work with the new interface.

The Iconia W700P features Windows 8 Pro, so that it can easily integrate with the existing IT infrastructure, providing excellent manageability, enhanced usability and advanced security, making it an excellent choice for corporations looking for solid performing and reliable devices that comply with in-house IT manageability and security requirements. The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) solution helps ensure security and integrity of the client platform, offering improved hardware-based security in numerous applications. TPM conforms to corporate-level security requirements and lowers TCO over the product lifecycle.

Third generation Intel® CoreTM processor family ensures faster, smarter, and more efficient performance, while the 11.6" full HD IPS display features 10 point touch and provides consistent and accurate color, combining it with a wide viewing angle up to 178° for better sharing information and group viewing. To match and enhance the great visual experience the W700P comes with Dolby® Home Theater®v4 that maximizes volume output, and provides surround sound and dialogue enhancement through professionally tuned audio via PC speakers, headphones or a home theater.

The Iconia W700P comes with a cradle that provides the tablet with a landscape or portrait support. When used in landscape, it can sit at 70 degrees, for sharing presentations, or at 20 degrees, for a more ergonomic touch experience, whereas in portrait mode is optimal for reading and browsing. Easy to dock and undock, the cradle also provides more connectivity options, including 3 USB 3.0 ports and a DC-in power plug. What's more, the dock features a special designed sound tunnel that guides and amplifies the sound from the bottom of the tablet, without need of extra speakers. Without the cradle the W700P is a light weight, smart performing portable computer.

When it comes to taking notes during a meeting, many still prefer writing instead of typing. Bundled with the Iconia W700P is a simple but very stylish stylus pen, just perfect for drawing or taking notes with ease. Thanks to the pen-like small tip, it also helps navigating through applications faster and with more accuracy than fingers, avoiding to touch the wrong items or icons. The pen tip is soft to provide comfortable operation and prevent the screen from scratching or smudging, while the clip permits to attach the pen safely to a pocket or protective case.

Life on the go makes mobile devices more at risks of accidents or crashes. Through Acer Backup Manager the Iconia W700P keeps valuable data protected also from accidents or crashes, allowing users to back up data and files at ease, while Acer eRecovery Management provides recovery on-demand for complete peace of mind.

Along with powerful computing, the Iconia W700P ensures fast responsiveness to keep professionals within seconds from important business information. Thanks to the Acer Green Instant On feature, the Iconia W700P boots in 6 seconds (SSD); resumes from Sleep in 1.5 seconds; and lasts 80 days in Deep Sleep mode. Then, it connects to the Internet in 2.5 seconds via Acer "Always Connect" feature that automatically scans and registers most-visited access points.

Anytime and anywhere connectivity allows the access to critical business information on the go or communications with customers in real-time; this is why the W700P comes with Acer InviLinkTM NplifyTM Wi-Fi, as well as Bluetooth 4.0+ to connect to the latest wireless peripherals. With Acer Crystal Eye webcam users can easily videoconference with clients or business partners at their convenience, plus they can also share documents when travelling.

AMD Announces SeaMicro SM15000 Server Citrix Ready

System Now Enables Citrix XenServer 6 Networking and Virtualization Solutions

BARCELONA, Spain - CITRIX SYNERGY 2012 - Oct. 17, 2012 - AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced that Citrix Systems, Inc. has verified the new AMD SeaMicro SM15000-XETM micro server as Citrix Ready® to run Citrix XenServer® 6, a complete managed server virtualization technology that enables companies to cost-effectively consolidate servers and ensure business continuity.

Citrix Ready is a product verification program that demonstrates compatibility with Citrix Application Delivery Infrastructure. AMD completed a rigorous process to ensure compatibility with the industry-leading XenServer platform, which is widely acknowledged as one of the fastest and secure server virtualization products in the industry.

"Data center virtualization is expected to accelerate, and we have worked closely with Citrix to ensure that our customers can now effectively and efficiently deploy an integrated Citrix-AMD solution," said Andrew Feldman, general manager and corporate vice president of the Data Center Server Solutions group, AMD. "The combination of Citrix XenServer and the highest density, most power efficient SeaMicro server is a winning combination that takes data center efficiency and management to the next level of performance."

AMD's SeaMicro SM15000 is the highest-density, most energy-efficient data center platform. It combines compute, networking, and storage in a single ten rack unit system all linked by a high performance supercompute fabric that creates a hyper-efficient system by enabling common components to be shared. AMD's differentiated technology allows the highest performance, compute and storage density as well as the most bandwidth per unit compute of any micro server.

In addition, the recently announced AMD SeaMicro SM15000 server extends the patented FreedomTM Fabric beyond the SeaMicro chassis to connect directly to massive disk arrays, enabling a single ten rack unit system to support more than five petabytes of low cost, easy-to-install storage. The Freedom Fabric ASIC contains three key patented technologies:


SeaMicro's Input/Output (I/O) Virtualization Technology eliminates all but three components from SeaMicro's motherboard - CPU, DRAM, and the ASIC itself - thereby shrinking the motherboard, helping to reduce power, cost and space;


SeaMicro's TIOTM (Turn It Off) technology enables SeaMicro to further power-optimize the motherboard by consolidating functionality and turning off unneeded CPU and chipset functions. Together, SeaMicro's I/O Virtualization Technology and TIO technology produce small and power-efficient motherboards;


The Freedom Supercompute Fabric ties these small, power-efficient motherboards together with an industry leading 1.28 terabits-per-second of bandwidth.The Freedom Supercompute Fabric is built of multiple Freedom ASICs working together to create a multi-dimensional torus - delivering a low latency, massive bandwidth fabric with exceptionally low power draw.

iStorage at Okobe.co.uk!

The iStorage diskG is the world’s most secure, compact and affordable USB2 portable hard drive, employing PIN code access with Military Grade 128-bit or 256-bit AES Hardware Encryption.


The diskG can only be accessed using a personalised 6-16 digit PIN code similar to using an ATM. ALL data stored on the drive is encrypted in Real-Time, making it as fast and in many cases faster than any non-encrypted USB 2.0 hard drive.

Should the
iStorage diskG be lost or stolen, the user can rest assured that the data stored on the drive is safe and cannot be accessed by any unauthorised third party, even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.

Did you know that tens of millions of external data storage devices are lost every year and this figure is rising. Have you ever considered the impact of losing your non-encrypted hard drive or USB flash memory key? Your data would be at the mercy of anyone who stumbles across it. Your personal videos may appear on YouTube, your business data sent to a competitor, your personal and financial information used for fraudulent purposes.

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) now has the power to fine businesses and government bodies up to £500,000 for serious breaches of the Data Protection Act. This includes the loss of an unencrypted portable hard drive or USB flash memory key that contains customer data. The ICO has been very clear in advising businesses to encrypt all data that workers access, they also recognise that data which is encrypted and lost or stolen is not vulnerable to compromise. Loss of confidential data can have a devastating effect on both businesses and consumers. It could lead to a hefty fine, the downfall of a business, embarrassment, job losses and adverse media focus. The diskG can protect you against all of this.

Once access to the diskG is granted by entering the correct 6-16 digit PIN, data can be copied to the diskG using any off the shelf backup software, or simply drag and drop files and directories using Windows Explorer. Once the diskG is disconnected, all data is encrypted and cannot be accessed unless the correct PIN is entered.
Military strength Hardware encryption

The encryption chipset incorporated within the diskG encrypts all data using 128-bit or 256-bit AES Hardware Encryption. The diskG is the only USB hard drive to be awarded the CESG CCTM government accreditation. The diskG also utilises FIPS PUB 197 validated Encryption Algorithm. The recommended standard for symmetric encryption is AES (advanced Encryption Standard). The Committee of National Security Systems (CNSS) rates the AES algorithm as acceptable for encrypting top secret data on their AES policy fact sheet, stating “The design and strength of all key lengths of the AES algorithm (i.e. 128,192 and 256) are sufficient to protect classified information up to the SECRET level. TOP Secret information will require use of either the 192 or 256 key lengths.”

The diskG uses a three pronged approach to protect against a Brute Force Attack. The first step is to deny access to the drive until the drive can verify the user PIN. After six incorrect attempts the drive will lock itself, requiring the drive to be disconnected and then reconnected. This feature blocks automated attempts to enter PIN numbers. Lastly, after one hundred incorrect PIN attempts, the diskG assumes it is being attacked and will destroy the encryption key and lock itself, rendering the data useless and requiring a total reset and reformat to redeploy the diskG. The diskG also incorporates Variable Time Circuit (VTC) technology, which thwarts “timing attacks” aimed at accessing the drive by studying the behaviour and infiltrating diskG*’s electronics.

Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810 Improves Multi-Tasking Across Platforms with Easy-Switch Bluetooth Technology

New Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard Keeps You Connected to the Windows, iOS and Android Devices You Type On.

London, UK - Oct. 15, 2012 - Today Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) announced the expansion of its keyboard line-up with the Logitech® Bluetooth® Illuminated Keyboard K810. Compatible with Windows, iOS and AndroidTM devices - and with a layout designed for Windows 8 - this rechargeable keyboard uses Bluetooth connectivity to pair with up to three devices simultaneously. Your keyboard can be connected to your PC, tablet and smartphone and you can easily switch among them with the push of a button.

"It's increasingly common for people to use more than one device over the course of the day, and we saw an opportunity to help ease the transition among screens with the Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard," said Mike Culver, vice president of brand development for consumer computing platforms at Logitech. "Using Logitech's heritage of high quality and reliability, this keyboard combines the functionality and design people expect with simultaneous multi-device pairing, which they will appreciate."

This thin keyboard is designed to look right at home next to all your devices with its real brushed aluminium and sleek lines, regardless if you're working on a Windows 8 PC, Apple iPad® or Android smartphone.

To increase the keyboard's usability in low-light conditions or at night, auto-adjusting illumination ensures the laser-etched key characters are always bright and easy to read. The keyboard also uses proximity detection to turn on the lighting when your hands approach it, and automatically dims or brightens, depending on the amount of light in the room.

Further addressing your need for convenience and productivity, this keyboard is USB rechargeable with 10 days of battery life on a full charge (based on varying user and computing conditions). Thanks to the easy-to-use USB cable, you can even use your keyboard while it's recharging. The keyboard also features a convenient On/Off switch, and its battery-indicator light helps you manage power so you know when it's time to recharge. The Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810 has specific keys to help you easily navigate the new Windows 8 operating system, expected to be available later this month. For example, its Windows 8 Start key provides a quick and easy way to get back to your Start Screen, while the App Switching function key allows you to quickly switch among your open apps.
